Make sure your next AI side project is worth building before you write a single line of code.
Steps:
• Write down your idea — even one sentence is enough.
• Score it across 10 factors: urgency, market size, pricing, CAC, delivery cost, uniqueness, speed to market, upfront investment, upsell potential, and evergreen potential.
• Let AI generate scores and short explanations for each factor.
• Review the total score (out of 100) and read the AI’s summary.
• Compare several ideas using the same framework to spot your strongest one.
• Use the results to decide: pivot, refine, or start building.
Gotchas:
• Don’t skip evaluation and jump straight into coding — it wastes time.
• Don’t rely on gut feeling alone; structured scoring gives clarity.
Do this today:
• Pick one idea you’ve been thinking about.
• Run it through the 10-factor evaluation prompt.
• Use the total score to decide if it’s worth pursuing.
